If you've ever daydreamed about driving your own version of the Batmobile, your fantasy just got a lot more tangible (and expensive). Automobili Pininfarina, known for its exquisite automotive designs, has unveiled a pair of ultra-exclusive vehicles inspired by Bruce Wayne, the alter ego of Batman. These sleek machines, named the B95 and Battista, are not just cars; they're automotive expressions of the billionaire superhero.
Drawing inspiration from Bruce Wayne's refined persona, Pininfarina offers two distinct trims for each model: Gotham and Dark Knight. The Gotham variant exudes elegance with its tan leather upholstery, bespoke quilting on the center panel, and tan stitching. In contrast, the Dark Knight trim embraces a stealthy aesthetic, featuring black Alcantara and leather upholstery adorned with black and gold duo-tone contrast stitching.
The exterior design choices are equally striking. The Gotham Battista boasts an Argento Vittorio gloss finish complemented by a Nero Torino roof. Pininfarina's iconic logo, backlit and crafted in brushed and polished anodized aluminum, adds a touch of sophistication. Gloss-black faced 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloy wheels complete the look. Meanwhile, the Dark Knight versions of the Battista and B95 showcase a Nero Profondo exterior with Nero Torino roofs, along with ceramic-polished rims that enhance their commanding presence on the road.
Underneath the captivating aesthetics lies impressive performance. Each vehicle is equipped with a 120.0-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery powering four electric motors, delivering a staggering 1,900 horsepower. Acceleration is mind-bending, with a sprint to 62 miles per hour taking less than two seconds—truly superhero-worthy speed.
Inside, the Batmobile experience is further heightened. The displays feature Wayne Enterprises enhancements, seamlessly integrating advanced technology. Even the instruction voice is modeled after Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne's trusted butler.
Pininfarina hasn't overlooked aerodynamics either. The Battista receives specialized enhancements, including tailgate shark fins, louver openings, and rear carbon wings, optimizing performance and adding to the vehicle's allure. Notably, Wayne Enterprises logos adorn the side skirts and roof, a subtle nod to Batman's corporate alter ego.
This collaboration between Pininfarina and Wayne Enterprises marks the pinnacle of luxury branding. Their exclusive partnership will be unveiled at BruceWayneX.com, offering a unique retail experience for a fortunate few. Alongside the Batmobiles, limited-edition jet skis, bicycles, and even the iconic Tumbler from Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy will be available—a true homage to the Batman legacy.
As for the price tag, these bespoke vehicles are strictly for the elite. While exact figures for the Batman-themed editions have yet to be disclosed, the Battista starts at $2.2 million and the B95 at $4.8 million. As Automobili Pininfarina aptly notes, you'll need Bruce Wayne's bank account to ride in these extraordinary vehicles.
For those with deep pockets and a passion for all things Batman, this is the ultimate opportunity to step into the shoes (or rather, the driver's seat) of the iconic superhero. With the Pininfarina Batmobiles, luxury and fantasy converge in a breathtaking display of automotive artistry.

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.
“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.
"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".
The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
In a bold move against the prevailing headwinds in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, VinFast, the young Vietnamese EV manufacturer, is forging ahead with its ambitious global expansion plans. While major players like Apple have recently abandoned their decade-long pursuit of an electric vehicle, and others are scaling back their ambitions, VinFast remains undeterred. Having already established a presence in the U.S., Canada, and Southeast Asia, the company is now setting its sights on the Middle Eastern market.
Hyundai is set to debut its three-row electric SUV later this year, a move that signifies the automaker's bold step into the large electric vehicle (EV) market. This new SUV, anticipated to be named the Ioniq 9, is poised to be Hyundai’s equivalent to the Kia EV9, offering a spacious and eco-friendly alternative to its popular Palisade.
